A study conducted by researchers at IMDEA Networks Institute has revealed that ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Grok, and Perplexity AI use different types of trackers from Meta, Google, TikTok and other companies, potentially ...
Science X / Your social feed hides a loneliness trap, and the people you barely know are at the center
A first-of-its-kind study of U.S. adults suggests that all of those strangers you're friends with on social media are not helping you to feel less lonely. On the contrary, social media connection with people you don't know ...
Tech Xplore / Beyond borders: Metaverse manufacturing envisions AI-linked local production built on digital twins
Over the past decades, technological advances have fueled great innovation in a wide range of fields. Emerging and rapidly developing technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) systems, three-dimensional (3D) and ...
Medical Xpress / Urine test outperforms MRI for monitoring low-risk prostate cancer in new study
A new urine test performed better than PSA-based testing and MRI for monitoring low-risk prostate cancers on active surveillance. Use of the test to determine the need for repeat "monitoring" biopsies would have avoided up ...

Phys.org / What can singing mice say about human speech?
Speech is a crowning achievement of human evolution, the skill that separates us from every other animal. So, it would stand to reason that evolving this capability required some enormous leap in brain complexity. A study ...
Phys.org / Nanoscale design channels hybrid light–vibration waves to carry heat more efficiently
Your phone warms up after a 20-minute FaceTime call. Your laptop hums loudly while editing a large video file. Heat is a by-product of modern electronics—from everyday gadgets to the high-resolution screens and processors ...
Phys.org / Deforestation lessens Amazon rainfall—and climate change hastens that process, study finds
Climate change makes the southern Amazon's rain increasingly sensitive to deforestation, a new study finds. Clearing large areas of forest can trigger severe and lasting reductions in rainfall regardless of climate, but as ...
Tech Xplore / Cooling without pumps: New measurement data for modular reactors
Passive cooling systems for nuclear power plants operate without pumps or electricity: They rely solely on physical effects such as density differences to dissipate heat. Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have ...
Phys.org / How evolution sculpts the facial shapes of birds and mammals
Shapes of beaks and snouts come in an extraordinary range of forms, reflecting adaptations to different lifestyles and environments. Yet beneath this diversity lies a paradox: across birds and mammals, faces are built using ...
